On July 6th, 2013 we lost a wonderful person, RainMist, who was the founder of Shrine of Hope, a loving Mother, Grandmother and wife. She passed suddenly and painlessly. We know that she is doing her work on the other side, helping us in spirit form, much like the way she helped us in our physical realm.

This page will remain here as a memorial to RainMist, for all the good she had done and to remind us that she is still around us all the time, showering us with her love and light.

&amp;lt;/body&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/html&amp;gt;

A few days after her passing, we had an online Celebration of Life in honor of RainMist.

<Nomokids6> Today is our chance to thank Rainmist, Cherry, and celebrate all the wonderful legacies she leaves us with.

<Nomokids6> Just to put everyone
in the picture. We are moderating the room at time to allow all to
have their chance to share a few words.

<Nomokids6> I am going to ask
JulieD to start us off today as always in bringing and welcoming
Spirit to join with us. This is not a meditation but a bringing
together of energies.

<RainHobbit> I had some of those
years too lttlrain :) You miss a lot

<lttlrain> :))

<NAMiwok> I know a lot of you by
name RAIN would tell me about you all

<Nomokids6> Once together JulieD
and myself will invite those who have asked to speak the opportunity
to do so. Starting with her family.

<Nomokids6> Then at the end we
will have a short prayer and a chance for you again to offer thanks
and to continue Rainmists work in sending all the energies we have
built up here today to those in need.

<Nomokids6> Then the room will be
opened completely for you all to chat.

<Nomokids6> I am going to hand
over the room to JulieD so please just sit back and read what is
being typed, picture it within your mind like reading a book and you
will find yourself experiencing it all.

<N00NE> I want to introduce some
of the family. I am Rainmists's youngest Son Steve, Don is her
eldest son, lttlerain is her daughter, Namiwok is her husband and
Diana is Don's wife and mom thought of her as a daughter too.

<julied> I am going to bring the
energies together

<julied> ty noone its so good to
meet you all

<Nomokids6> great that you are
all here glad we get to meet the rest of the family :)

<julied> im going to type some
few words all I ask is that you read them like a book and form a
picture in your mind

<lttlrain> It's great to meet you
all as well :)

<julied> and feel the energies of
all here and those that join us in spirit

<julied> so lets all stop and
take a deep breath

<julied> just allow yourself to
sit back and focus

<julied> take another breath

<julied> and feel the energy
within you as it fills you with life

<julied> feel the love that is
you

<julied> and as you start to
focus feel that love within you growing

<julied> you may feel like the
sun

<julied> shining your energy

<julied> so lets share it with
all here

<julied> and send out your love
and light to spirit

<julied> for many have joined
with us

<julied> feel the energies

<julied> feel us all becoming
one

<julied> for today is a very
special day

<julied> we are here to give
thanks for a wonderful lady

<julied> just sit and relax as
some share their thoughts with us

<julied> if you would like to
share please pm nomo or myself

<julied> i will just offer a few
of my thoughts

<julied> When Nomo told me
Rainmist had passed to spirit it took me sometime to comprehend what
she was saying. And yet it is the only thing in Life we are certain
of...one day we also will take our transition.

<julied> As I reflected,
eventhough we had not met in person I have spoken to Rain on the
phone from Nomos and talked many times on line. I am very honoured to
call her my friend and for Rainmist to allow me to have my own room
these years, on her beautiful site.

* DK-brb is now known as DK

<julied> Her philosophy is so
special and her love and wisdom permeates the chatroom. Like everyone
I will miss her physical energy but I know she will continue to watch
over the chatroom and her family especially her grandchildren who she
was so proud of.

<julied> Rainmist may God Bless
You till we meet again.

<Nomokids6> would anyone in the
family like to share a few words?

<julied> ok i have a short piece
of poetry to share that i shared at anothers memorial

<N00NE> Mom, I know you are
watching this, maybe over my shoulder. I want you to know. I love
you, I miss you and I know you are here for me still. God bless
you.

<Nomokids6> ((((((steve)))

<Nomokids6> Ara would also like
to share a few words

<Ara> Thanks Nomo! And Steve...I
know our hearts are with you...she was your mother....and our den
mother so to speak.

<Ara> She was always there for
all of us, whenever we needed her. She had a way about her that
allowed you to tell her everything. She would never judge. She only
knew how to shine a light so bright....and above all...she knew how
to love.

<Ara> My goodness I think she
taught us ALL a lot about that!

<Ara> For days I wondered what
words would come to me at this moment....and I couldn't grasp why the
words wouldn't come.

* RainHobbit has quit (Ping timeout)

<Ara> Today I understood that
there are absolutely no words that can aptly and accurately describe
Rain's energy.

* army66 has quit (>>

<Ara> She had grace...she had
wisdom...and she shared with us all so freely. She always supported
me...always nurtured me and always inspired me. She was a friend in
the truest sense of the word. While she is no longer here
physically....she is still here energetically...and I will continue
to love and speak with her.

<Ara> I don't know what words I
can offer to say what is in my heart....all I know is there is ONE
word that will never pass through my lips. That word is....goodbye.
Love you Rain!!!

<Nomokids6> (((Ara)))

<Nomokids6> Now Miracles would
like to share

<lttlrain> Aww, that was very
nice

* julied gives voice to miracles

<miracles> I too was stunned and
devastated when sharyn told me about Rainy. I remember all the love
she gave to all but in particular I remember when she posted me she
always called me Miracles, dear and I felt this terrific energy and
love pass thru me. I cant explain it but it was there, it always
broght me to tears. Rainmist, I will NEVER forget you!! God bless you
always and all ways

<lttlrain> The last day we had
together here on earth was a gift from God..

<lttlrain> It was just you and me
time...

<lttlrain> If I would have known
you were going to pass shortly..

<lttlrain> There is just one
thing I would have done different...

<lttlrain> I wouldn't have gone
home that evening...

<lttlrain> I am so grateful that
time together, I will never forget.

<lttlrain> I love you mom, you
are always in my heart and on my mind...

<lttlrain> Your little girl,
Stacy <3

<N00NE> {{{Stacy}}}

<Nomokids6> ((((Stacy)))

<David-B> beautiful :)

<Nomokids6> Papasage would also
like to share

* julied gives voice to papasage

<papasage> If there ever was a
person who loved unconditionally to me it was rainmist, she would
comment on my Facebook Posts and guide me in my path and all was done
with Love7 Light ... I am blessed to have chatted with her and being
guided as well... RIP Raimist I know your here still working with
us...You will be never forgotten! :)

<David-B> and if any of your
family needs anything from me... I'd be glad to return the kindness
and love

<David-B> thankyou :)

<Nomokids6> (((Davidb)))love you
and ty

<julied> we have a lovely chatter
essence of love she is in australia so unable to be with us but has
asked us to share these words

<julied> my blessed condolences
too all, may the knowing Rain's transition was one filled with love
and gratitude provide ease within your hearts as you grieve

<julied> I use to so love SOH but
sadly with the clock change I rarely make it in nowdays, I so loved
it there

<julied> I rarely receive a
reading and was blown away when Rainmist pmed me back in Nov 2012 on
the 24th, that she had a message for me, I am sure she said that she
does not do reads often

<julied> The message for me I
believe is apt for many, especially when one is in my opinion
experiencing grief what a wondrous connection Rain had with spirit

<julied> Hence I share it with
yourself and most welcome to share it during the ceremony

<julied> <RainMist> I have
a message for you:)

<julied> <essenceoflove>
ahhhhhh bless

<julied> <RainMist> You are
a bright shinning light:)

<julied> <essenceoflove>
blessed ty

<julied> <RainMist> and you
are reminded that it will always shine through..no matter what you
experience

<julied> <RainMist> to keep
this in mind when things feel tough..you are always within ths light
of love:)

<julied> <RainMist> your
heart is opened..and you receive..trust it

<julied> <RainMist>
pause:)

<julied> <RainMist> Your
love speaks for you

<julied> <RainMist> your
heart speaks for you

<julied> <RainMist> nothing
can come between you and this

<julied> <RainMist> you
know:)

<julied> <RainMist> Life is
what it is

<julied> <RainMist> it
doesn't matter:)

<julied> <RainMist> The
lessons come and go..you teach and learn:)

<julied> <RainMist> You are
loved:)

<julied> <RainMist> Rely on
that:)

<julied> <RainMist> It will
strengthen you through all of your path:)

<julied> blessings and love

has joined #Mediums

<Nomokids6> Ok..my turn..and I
have to be honest here......I couldn't come up with the right
words..so I wrote Rainmist and I would like to share

<Nomokids6> I know she won't
mind

<Nomokids6> I do have to copy and
paste this ...but please know I love Rain with all my heart and her
family

* creatures has quit (>>

<Nomokids6> Dear Rainmist..

<Nomokids6> I have thought long
and hard about what I would say to you today on your Celebration of
Life..I know you won't believe this, but I couldn't think of anything
to say. How can I even put into words that you are one of my best
friends in the world and that we are as close as sisters could ever
be? That goes with out saying..

<Nomokids6> That I miss our
long marathon talks on the phone...either laughing over goofy stuff,
venting, or talking our deep spiritual talks? That it thrilled me to
death just to call on the phone and hope that Gary would
answer...just so I could ask to speak to the boss? Or the many hopes
that we would get to meet in person? That we had it preplanned to
throw Gary and Denny in front of a fire in the

<Nomokids6> backyard, with a few
beers..just so we could talk and visit in peace? :) (That was of
course after they fixed us a nice steak on the grill) That also goes
without saying..

<Nomokids6> That you are one of
the most giving, loving spiritual people I have ever known? That I
seen the comfort and love you shared with so many people thru the
years? That you also did this for me? That I know your family means
the world to you, and that you will never leave them? That even
though I can't physically call you on the phone for a marathon call
that I will ever stop talking to you?

<Nomokids6> That also goes
without saying..

<Nomokids6> So without saying
anything, I just want you to know how loved you will always be..

<Nomokids6>

Nomo

<julied> ty nomo beautiful

<Nomokids6> Dear Rainmist..
